Tedeschi Hits Trips on Orpaz
Paul Tedeschi opened from early position for 4,000 and Tom Orpaz called from middle position. Uri Reichenstein defended his big blind and they went three ways to the flop.
The flop came 
and action checked over to Orpaz, who bet 5,000. While Reichenstein tossed his cards away, Tedeschi continued on.
The 
arrived on the turn and Orpaz fired a second barrel for 15,000. Tedeschi would slowly analyze before making the call about 30 seconds later.
The 
came on the river and both players would need about 20 or 30 seconds before tapping the table.
Tedeschi flipped over 
which was enough to see Orpaz raise his eyebrows in surprise before tossing his cards into the muck.
Despite losing the hand, Orpaz is enjoying a successful day thus far, having already doubled his starting stack and earning a bounty in the process.
